Who Can Make Gains with the McDavid Ankle Brace?
For sports that require sharp turns and dynamic movement like football, basketball, hockey and tennis, playing through an ankle injury can be dangerous, and the risk of reinjury is high. With comprehensive compression, padding and strapping, the McDavid 195 gives you the protection you need to get stuck in without worrying about your ankle. The hook and loop fastening and laces also mean that you can get the exact amount of compression you need for maximum comfort on the pitch.
Hook and Loop Strap for Easy Adjustment
Topped with a hook and loop strap, getting your most comfortable fit is easy. It also allows you to change the level of tightness and compression without removing the brace or your shoe. This is great if you want to adjust the fit in the middle of a match or game, as it won't take too much time.
Laces for Simple and Customised Ankle Support
When you're playing sport, the level support needed around the ankle depends on each person. As such, you can adjust the ankle compression with the laces of the McDavid 195. These laces are also covered in straps so they don't bother you or get caught while exercising.
Ventilated Tongue Keeps You Cool
Great for keeping your feet cool, the HydraVent Moisture Management Material vents and drains excess liquid. Despite the comprehensive foot support, your foot won't get too sweaty!
Want the Same Brace But in White?
Depending on your sports kit or personal preference, you may prefer a white brace. Fortunately, we also carry this McDavid Ankle Support in white.
Prefer an Ankle Brace with Stays?
This McDavid 195 Brace uses a sturdy support strap to stay in place and correct ankle movement. However, if you would prefer a version with stays instead of a strap, we also carry the McDavid 199 Ankle Support. Stays are less bulky than a strap and and offer more internal rigidity to maintain healthy ankle alignment.
Need Stays and Cushioned Inserts?
If you're looking for an ankle support with stays as well as added padding, consider the McDavid A101 Ankle Brace. Like the 199 it uses steel stays, but the stays are reinforced with protective padding for extremely comprehensive support.
